My 120g SPS tank

[brianemone]

I have been in the process of setting up this tank for a while now but thought that i would share with everyone here the progress that i have made.

first i started with a basic metal stand around which i attached wooden panels to the out side

after competing this i then stained the wood to match the apartments decor (so my wife thinks its pretty.

i had my tank made by my builder to the dimensions of 1200mm x700x600 (600 tall), the front and side panels are made of diamante glass

here is my son playing in his toy

i then had a plastic fabricator make an overflow out of black acylic for me

i siliconed it in place and put the tank on the stand

[brianemone]

i had to wait for the arrival of my new equipment from robin @ Ocean Werx to design my sump

i then had the sump designed and built to fit the equipment and installed what i could

Looking good

Interesting.

More pics!

[Reefaholic]

Amazing.. Would love to see more pictures.

Hmm... Where do you normally get your sps?

[brianemone]

thanks guys.

most of my corals come from the LFS or frags from other reefers, the areas that the are imported from are mainly the various pacific islands (fiji,tonga etc) and now and again we get a few balinese corals.

not alot of pics yet as the tank is still very young, i have spent far too much money on it and need to wait abit before i can get the final lighting and some streams, my wife has been very patient untill now and i dont want to press my luck.

here is a full tank shot, yesterday i added another 20 odd punds (that is not shown in the pic) of live rock and plan to add about the same amount again to fully stock it

i also added a new bulb to the MH which has already made an improvement to the colouration of my acro's

here are some teasers of a few corals though

[brianemone]

thanks guys

i got the cap clown the day before christmas , it was 80$nz so about 100$sg

that is quite a good deal in new zealand as normal percula/occelaris cost about 45$

live stock is generally alot more expensive in NZ than the prices that i have seen in singapore

[LoReNsIa]

so u bring it over? hand carry? or u staying in singapore now? haha..

[brianemone]

LOL, i am in New Zealand.

please not the full tank shot was before i added the beckett skimmer and the new rock so it is looking alot sharper now, but still no where near finished.

Welcome to SRC bro!!

[brianemone]

thanks.

hopefully it wont be too long untill i can get all the rock in there and the caclium reactor and zeovit up and running

[Reefaholic]

You are using zeovit.

Weileong is using it and has been for quite long. I believe he is one of the pioneer here.

[giantbicycle]

Nice tank, waiting for more upcoming pics...

[brianemone]

thanks bigbike.

reefaholic, no im not using zeovit yet but i will once the tank is nice and stable.
